填空题To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind is prone, no superhuman genius is required. A few simple rules will keep you, not from all error, but from silly error. (66) Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted. He did not do so because he thought he knew. Many matters, however, are less easily brought to the test of experience. If, like most of mankind, you have passionate convictions on many such matters, there are ways in which you can make yourself aware of your own bias. (67) If someone maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in arithmeticthere is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion. (68) A good way of ridding yourself of certain kinds of dogmatism is to become aware of opinions held in social circles different from your own. When I was young, I lived much outside my own country. I found this very profitable in diminishing the intensity of insular prejudice. (69) If the people and the newspaper seem mad, perverse, and wicked, remind yourself that you seem so to them. For those who have enough psychological imagination, it is a good plan to imagine an argument with a person having a different bias. (70) I have sometimes been led actually to change my mind as a result of this kind of imaginary dialogue, and, short of this, I have frequently found myself growing less dogmatic through realizing the possible reasonableness of a hypothetical opponent. A. This has one advantage, and only one, as compared with actual conversation with opponents; this one advantage is that the method is not subject to the same limitations of time and space. B. If you cannot travel, seek out people with whom you disagree, and read a newspaper belonging to a party that is not yours. C. If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. D. In this opinion both parties may be right, but they cannot both be wrong. E. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself. F. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

填空题Directions: In the following article, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. In Toronto, the careerist's capital of Canada, when strangers meet, they don't say "How do you do?" They say "What do you do?" It is a question that drives many people crazy because they don't wish to be defined by or awarded status or demerit points on the basis of their work. 41. ______ It is then, not in the simple job description, that character is revealed and destiny described. The real estate saleswoman confesses she wanted to be a forensic pathologist but was not steered to the right university courses. The lawyer shrugs and says he had no clue what he wanted to do and law school seemed like a good idea at the time. The entrepreneur admits he had this crazy idea about starting a small radio station. The highly capable nurse still laments her family did not have the money to send her to university. 42. ______ For some there is unbelievable success—think of the founders of Google, so young and yet so rich, for others, a life of desperately unsatisfying activity, and for most everyone else, something in between—good years and bad, fulfillment and drudgery. 43. ______ Sometimes I think people invest their careers with the same mythology they do their love lives— the great passion, the career that got away, now looms larger than life. Which is why, in their fifties, many people go looking for that career spark they left behind. And which is why the word "passion" is today popping up in more and more career consultants' marketing come-ons? 44. ______ It starts early in schools. "When they have a career day at my daughter's school, they usually haul in the parents and that's a narrow spectrum—a handful of doctors and lawyers," says one Montreal woman who wanted to be an architect but ended up with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. On the other hand it's difficult to convey how vast the possibilities are without overwhelming students. 45. ______ But how helpful is it to tell someone starting out, actually agonizing over the choices, not to worry because that job won't be around anyway 20 years from now? The graduates in good shape are the ones who emerge even hungrier to learn. That's what a great education should really foster: a big appetite for learning, and just a little bit of bravery. It's not surprising that we don't all become what we think we want to be. If we did, it would be a pretty dull world.[A] What kind of a world is it if you can't get instant status points for being a brain surgeon? I guess it's a world in which you might as well do exactly what you want.[B] We understand, because of our own convoluted life circumstances, that there is no one moment when we fall in love with our work and stay that way, but we don't demystify the process enough for students.[C] If you ask people about their professional regrets, they usually involve something they didn't do, as opposed to something they did. "I didn't try out enough things when I was young," says one businessman.[D] In the meantime, on the bumpy road to getting there, there's always humour. A teenager I know—tired of adults asking her all the time what she wanted to be—decided at a recent family party to just mutter the words "brain surgeon" to any adult in the room.[E] Choosing what we do for a living—or having it choose us—is, as American author Po Bronson observed in his bestseller What Should I Do with My Life? " One of life's great dramas. " There's usually a Greek chorus ( the parental unit), an unexpected twist in the road ( can't get into medical school) and a crisis or two to be overcome.[F] Because of changing work patterns, we now get it that when you choose a career, it most likely won't end up being exactly that job or even that career for life.[G] I say it's all right to ask the question if you follow it up with a much more interesting second question: "How did you come to do what you do?"

填空题Translate the following letter into English.经国吾弟: 咫尺之隔,竞成海天之遥。南京匆匆一晤,瞬逾三十六载。幼时间袍,苏京把晤(苏京:the capital of Soviet Union),往事历历在目。惟从长年未通音问,此诚憾事。近闻政躬违和,深为悬念。人过七旬,多义病痛,至盼珍摄。 祖国和平统一,乃千秋功业。台湾终必回归祖国,早日解决对各方有利。台湾同胞可安居乐业,两岸各族人民可解骨肉分离之痛,在台诸前辈及大陆去台人员亦可各得其所,且有利于亚太地区局势稳定和世界和平。吾弟尝以“计利当计天下利,求名应求万世名”自勉,倘能于吾弟手中成此伟业,必为举国尊敬,世人推崇,功在国家,名流青史。所谓“罪人”之说,实相悖谬。局促东隅,终非久计。明若吾弟,自当了然,如迁延不决,或委之异日,不仅徒生困扰,吾弟亦将难辞其咎。再者,和平统一纯属内政。外人巧言令色,意在图我台湾,此世人所公知者。当断不断,必受其乱。愿弟慎思。 人到高年,愈加怀旧,如弟方便,余当束装就道,前往台北探望,并面聆诸长辈教益。“度尽劫波兄弟在,相逢一笑泯恩仇”。遥望南天,不禁神驰,书不尽占,诸希珍重,伫候复音。 老夫人前请化为问安。方良,纬国及诸侄不一。 顺祝 近祺! 廖承志 一九八二年七月二十四日

填空题Which of the following English versions of the Chinese article is the best in your opinion? Make a comment in English.(国际关系学院2010研,考试科目:英语综合) 桃花源记 晋太元中,武陵人捕鱼为业;缘溪行,忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林。夹岸数百步,中无杂树,芳草鲜美,落英缤纷,渔人甚异之。 参考译文1 A Tale of the Fountain of the Peach Blossom Spring In the year of Taiyuan of the Jin Dynasty, there lived a man in Wuling jun who earned his living by fishing. One day, he rowed his boat along a stream, unaware of how far he had gone when all of a sudden, he found himself in the midst of a wood of peach blossoms. The wood extended several hundred foot steps along both banks of the stream. There were no trees of other kinds. The lush grass was flesh and beautiful and peach petals fell in riotous profusion. The fisherman was so curious that he rowed on, in hopes of discovering where the trees ended. 参考译文2 During the reign of Emperor Shao-Wu of Eastern Tsin there was once a native of Wu-Lin, who lived on fishing. One day, he rowed up a stream, and soon forgot how far he had gone. All of a sudden he came upon a peach grove. For hundreds of paces along both banks of the stream, the peach-trees were in full bloom. No other trees were to be seen in the whole grove. The soft grass looked fresh and beautiful. Here and there falling blossoms was beside himself with amazement. 参考译文3 During the reign period Tai-yuan(376-379)of the Chin dynasty, a man of Wuling who plied the fisher"s trade, losing all count of distance as he made his way along a certain brook, suddenly came on a grove of peach-trees in blossom which fringed the shore some hundred paces, no other trees interspersed, where on scented grasses fresh and pleasing to the eye lay fallen blossoms in gay profusion, at sight of which the fisherman was much amazed.
